15 Images That Show Us the Twisted Side of World History

By THP Team

History has always been filled with mysterious things and unseen perspectives. We have known history through the things that we have found and the scriptures they wrote. But with the advent of photography in 1826, everything about documenting history changed. We were now able to make sure that what we are telling the world has a definite proof. But even then, the lens captured only that which the photographer wanted, leaving out a huge number of things that were captured by other quirky photographers with a knack for absurdity. History Pictures brings to you 15 such amazing photographs from the annals of history that show us a twisted side of the timeline.
